WBOC chose to head to Laurel, Delaware to see what people who live there think about this debate. That may be why younger people around you may hear "Yanny", while others hear "Laurel". So the debate will continue on around Laurel and around the world. That, or some people have impeccable hearing.

Things quickly got heated, as people everywhere began to chime in on what they heard. As the bass is adjusted, the word seems to shift.

Headphones and speakers can also play a role in this, depending on the quality of the set, or if they are tinny. What could alter what you hear are your headphones or audio equipment. You might actually hear sounds differently than the person next to you.
